London North Eastern Railway: Fares

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to undertakeĀ an interim review of the Simpler Fares pilot scheme on London North Eastern Railway; and what are the reasons for the two-year length of the pilot scheme.

Answer

An evaluation is underway to assess the impact of the trial, this is expected to be completed next year and we intend to publish this in due course. Further data is required to validate findings over a longer time period and account for seasonality. The results of this trial will be carefully considered before taking any further decisions. The two-year length allows time for this process.
